TV announcer Gayle Stevens fronts NBC NFL debut
NBC Sports trains Gayle Stevens a Tampa news anchor to call NFL games in a bold experiment. Weisman praised her first live broadcast after 50 000 spent on crash instruction, while pundits note past female announcers and aim to keep viewers focused on the game. Stevens hopes audiences judge the action, not her gender, and she reveals pregnancy affecting energy. The column also fondly recalls Iowa Hawkeyes bowl hopes and a Cedar Rapids Vester family venture in Kissimmee Florida with a local tip about visiting Disney World.
